Music in time

[1STMP]

Circa 1972.
North Dakota straight
stretch freeway. It's 17 deg
outside, a passenger in a
'69 Mercury Marquis. My
dad in a '64 Falcon 260,
(hopped up with a 3/4 cam),
2:30 am, haulin' *** just
ahead. The Mercury had
plenty left in that 429.
One driver trying to roll
a joint, the other, well on
his way to being inebriated.
110 mph made those
centerlines seem like a solid
white line.
Playing loud on the radio
was the first time release
of Carly Simon's "You're So
Vain".
To this day, whenever I hear
that song, it takes me back
to that time. On the knifes
edge.

You probably think that song is about you, don't you?

 

[RemCharger]

Don't you?

Nothing says 'ROAD TRIP!!!' to me like Golden Earring's Radar Love. Not a specific memory of a specific trip but rather many trips (and maybe a few joints) back in the 70's.

I flew my Learjet up to Nova Scotia, to see the total eclipse of the sun.

Fixed it for ya.

Flying that Learjet, how could you see through all those clouds?
Oh wait, those were just clouds in your coffee...
